Morristown Airport (IATA: MMU[2], ICAO: KMMU, FAA LID: MMU) is in Morris County, New Jersey[1] three miles east of downtown Morristown.[1] Operated by DM AIRPORTS, LTD, it is in the Whippany section of Hanover.[3] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 called it a general aviation reliever airport.
During his presidency, President Donald Trump flew into the airport on an Air Force Boeing C-32 operating as Air Force One during his weekend visits and summer vacations at his home at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, which is about 24 miles southwest of the airport.[4][5]
History
Judge Joseph Stamler of New Jersey Superior Court issued a 1969 opinion in a case regarding noise from business jets operating at the airport, brought by residents and governments of surrounding municipalities, in which he set a curfew limiting takeoffs and landings during overnight hours. The judge said, "the giants of industry will see the wisdom of slowing the cross-country speed of their important executives, and will take a close, concerned look at the little people of this country" who were dealing with the impact of noise and ticket prices.[6][7]
In the year ending August 30, 2012, the airport had 72,702 aircraft operations, an average of 199 per day: 84% general aviation, 15% air taxi, 1% military and <1% airline. In November 2016, there were 194 aircraft based at this airport: 89 single-engine, 17 multi-engine, 81 jet and 7 helicopter.[1]
